⏮️the alchemy of prosody⏭️

Yesterdays

1. Yesterday Saw through the scattered Flight of eternity Into the spectrum of spirits That spawned me.

2. Yesterday Woke the slumbering giant Within me Where art is found in the sounds & silences Like a patchwork prosody Spoken in spontaneous combustion Burning out of control.

Yesterday Became a verse, free From the frame of earth & its imagined corners, sketched & stretched upon the daze & gaze Of this curly-headed daydreamer Submerged in selected silence Waking to the dream of tomorrows With newfound rivers to cross & crosses to bear.

3. Yesterday Found time to listen To the silence Between the words Filling in the rest With the pieces of me Wanting to be Anywhere but here

Till I dethroned the loneliness of despair In a game Of truth or dare In which luck had no say

In the labors of a love consummated Beneath the beacon Beckoned by the shatters of life And its stained-glass soul.

4. Yesterday Pulled the wool from our eyes As ignorance reared its ugly head In the form of a constitution Polluted & prostituted By politicians Compromising posterity For prosperity Selling their souls for dead presidents & the sake of the machine That could care less about truth & the American dream.

5. Yesterday took refuge in a daze Of delusion Then found disillusion In recollections of strange fruit & the peculiar institution Ingrained in the rein Of our reflections On the impossible Which Baldwin made us understand Is “the least that one can demand.”

6. Yesterday Forged freedom On the fated road of faith That landed us Here at the crossroads Of our unsung stories Written on the soles of our feet.

7. Yesterday Fell asleep To the TV watching me Every time I woke from dreaming.
